  1. Might still be the most powerful V8 that actually runs and has a life. You know the chinese one is reverse engineered .
  2. That LTL is a mixed bag of Ford parts. Tiny Hendrickson suspension on the cut off too, with U bolts. I guess if it was a farm truck it would be ok. I kinda like it in some ways. Cab's way newer than that hood. That one step looks to be Peterbilt. Some interesting trucks there .
  3. The front of that is in pretty nice shape. That has an equally impressive stretch job on the frame.
  4. Solar .... duh
  5. How about on the page ? there's a '78 that's interesting too.
  6. 2500 m ??? How about doing it at 50 years old ?
  7. I believe you're right Paul. Reason I went to CR was cause of the anti lock brakes. Then after accumulating all the tools for them, I gave away all my Stemco tools. Your last line is often overlooked. Nothing has a chance of working if it's ruined from the word go.
  8. I'm serious. by then I'll be in my seventies. I'd like for common sense to make a come back before then, but there'll still be diesels lingering by then. Even if they are Howos.
  9. What's the worry ? By the time it happens ??? all of our Jazzys are already electric.
  10. Grit Guards don't work on as many things as they used to because of the exciter ring (tone wheel) for the anti-locks. The correct tool is a must though if using one. To add to Joey's mentioning the correct adaptor as per the seal's packaging, the adaptor is just big enough to fit over the spindle where the inner bearing goes. Then the contact surface that pushes the wear ring on is flat ( the wear ring has no choice but to go on straight ) . If you use the proper tooling (as Joey said) you won't end up with a wear ring like in the picture. Some guys would remove wear rings by driving a chisel into the wear surface. If it was hit hard enough it could nick the wear surface of the axle housing (spindle) or ??? if a previous failure grooved it up, that's where a coating of silicone or number 2 Permatex comes in for inside the wear ring. That picture looks like it was driven on with a punch or hammer. Now a days there's all sorts of wheel seals that don't require a installation tool of any kind. Then there's the adjusting the wheel bearings after determining if they're serviceable ......... whole other story. (like someone who would do that to a wear ring would put the wheeel bearing nuts on with a hammer and chisel too)
  11. Larry.....STD is never a good option
  12. What a nice looking R model
  13. An 11/22 is a 12/24.5. 11/24.5 will go right on yours' but you may need different spacers and wedges. An 11/24.5 will be a little smaller than a 11/22, and depending on manufacturer you may not even notice. !!!!! 22.5 is tubeless 20" and 24.5 is tubeless 22" !!!!! AND 24" tube type is a whole different animal all by itself. Confused yet ? (lol)
  14. You're ok Mech. If you pointed out a single disc pump..... well then I'd wonder
  15. That's a Small Cam in that truck. I see a compression release on there. Looks to be a 350 with the intercooler on it.
  16. Change to a Big Cam is a easy swap. After so many years, maybe it is by now ?
  17. If you're correct , then the shape that hood is in gives me a yard on . Lots of goodies on that truck still.
  18. But this bird brain is going for the pre puberty girl look. What kinda creeps think that should be celebrated let alone encouraged ? It's really strange .
  19. Thing I don't get, yeah the guy's a fruit cake and all , but he's trying to look like a little girl. Who in their right mind finds anything attractive about that. It's really weird.
  20. Proof biden's economic plan is working.....it's no joke. Between that and the budweiser thing, at least drinking is down.......or maybe more people are just going straight to fentanyl
  21. He'd have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling folks Zikes
  22. Buy a truck..... you'll get cranky pretty fast
  23. Happy birthday Jojo. More proof the cool guys are born in April.
  24. Just a touch of air in it, and WD40. A Dayton you need a couple 2 X 4 to get the rim off the floor.
